Jayden F., Child Care in Elgin, MN 55932 with 12 years of paid experience

Hi there! I'm a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and am now a Doctor of Physical Therapy student. I’ve been babysitting and nannying for over 10 years, caring for children from 6 months to 15 years old. I also have experience coaching kids (ages 2–16) and working with adults with disabilities (18+), which has given me a strong foundation in patience, adaptability, and empathy. In addition to childcare, I'm a certified personal trainer and nutrition specialist, so I love encouraging healthy habits and active play. I'm CPR/AED and First Aid certified for infants, children, and adults, and always prioritize safety and well-being. Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors, staying active, baking, and spending time with my many nieces and nephews. Whether it’s helping with homework, getting involved in sports, or just relaxing with a good book or movie, I love being a positive role model and supportive presence in children's lives. I'm excited to bring my energy, experience, and care into your home—and I look forward to connecting with you!

Emily H., Child Care in Elgin, MN 55932 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Emily, a stay at home mom to a sweet boy (born February 2025). Becoming a mom made me realize how much I love caring for little ones, and I’d love to support another family who needs reliable, loving help. My son would be with me, and he’s the happiest, most easygoing little guy. Kids usually love having another little friend around, and it creates such a fun, calm vibe during the day. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and comfortable with all ages. I can care for your child in your home or mine, whatever feels best for you. I’m also available for last minute needs, snow days, school closures, and backup care when life gets unpredictable. As a fellow mom, I know how much it helps to have someone you can count on. I keep things warm, safe, and fun, following your routines, your parenting style, and what works best for your family. If this sounds like the kind of support you’re looking for, I’d love to chat! ❤️
